A three star apartment block on Mwangeka Road in Greater Nairobi, west of the centre and away from the hotel quarter. It is a self catering address with free parking and a kitchen in the room, and that combination is the whole reason to take it or to leave it.
01What it is
Lux Suites Wawazi Court Apartments is a three star apartment property on Mwangeka Road, in Greater Nairobi rather than in the centre. The list is built around staying in and cooking in: a kitchen and kitchenette, a microwave, a refrigerator, a sofa bed, a TV, and family rooms for people who need more than one bed. Bathrooms come with a bidet, a WC, towels, toiletries and slippers. Wifi and internet access are listed, and there is free car parking on site, which matters here more than anywhere central. The thin parts of the list are the ones a hotel would carry: no restaurant, no bar, no gym, no airport transfer, and nothing in the way of service beyond the room itself.
What that adds up to is a self contained flat with a parking space, in a part of Greater Nairobi where a car is not optional. Lux Suites Wawazi Court Apartments sits 4.32 km from Kenyatta Avenue at Moi Avenue, which is 55 minutes on foot in a direct line, and the street itself is industrial: wide land, sheds, the reason any of this is here. After dark it is industrial and unlit in stretches, so treat it as daylight only, and come back by car. It suits drivers and families who want a kitchen and a free place to leave the vehicle, and it does not suit anyone intending to walk into the centre for dinner and walk back. Book

04Standing outside the ten quarters
These hotels are not in the centre. They sit well outside it, in the inner suburbs, past the ten quarters this site covers. The nearest of those quarters, for orientation only, is The Railway Quarter, on the southern edge of the grid, and that is as close as the connection goes. You are in the wider city here. Anything in the CBD means travelling in and out, so plan the day around that rather than around a short step from your room.
The Railway Quarter itself is wide industrial land, sheds, and the reason any of this is here, the museum, and understanding the city's whole layout in one afternoon. Nairobi exists because the Uganda Railway stopped here in 1899 to gather strength for the Rift; the 1929 station, the old yards and the museum of locomotives sit on the CBD's southern boundary, ten minutes below Kenyatta Avenue. After dark it is industrial and unlit in stretches, so keep it to daylight and a car back.
